Norwell High Spirit Week & Homecoming

Oct. 6 will commence spirit week at Norwell High School. This year the students have chosen to pump up the excitement and the volume with a homage to music. All NHS students are encouraged to represent their designated musical genre: seniors, rap and hip-hop; juniors, disco; sophomores, heavy metal; freshman, country. The regular academic schedules will be enhanced with opportunities for students to play games and participate in challenges and competitions, all designed to show off their school spirit.

Norwell High School will continue the “Spirit Ticket” activity. Students will be ticketed by teachers and staff for demonstrating acts upholding the hallmarks of the school – integrity, learning, respect and responsibility. Teachers will also be on the lookout for acts of kindness, team work and the best Clipper spirit. Students can then stuff their tickets in raffles at the in-school pep rally on Friday to receive prizes. Everyone is encouraged to come out and cheer on the Clippers on Oct. 13 at the Homecoming Football Game, which is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The highlight of the week will be the Homecoming Dance on Oct. 14. NHS students, staff and parent volunteers are hard at work planning for the homecoming festivities.
